To prepare children for their continuing education is one of the basics of the educational profession from the school. The pre-school class has a single curriculum with elementary school, but should work on for the pre-school's pedagogical approach. The purpose of this paper is to explore learning environments in pre-school class where educational traditions meet, and transforme and find out how the activities of the pre-school class looks like in practice. This is a qualitative study based on observation of two pre-school classes and interviews with staff in these. For an understanding of me as a researcher, I have received by loading me on literature relating to the subject.
The conclusion of this study is that the pre-school class is in the school premises where it is a more controlled pre-school while it is a lighter form of school. By this I mean either pre-school or school but also both, and in a kind of its own. Mandatory school start date is not until the year in which the children turn seven. This makes it possible to say that pre-school class becomes an extension of the volunteer’s pre- school with its own approach where there is a focus on working with the children's social community and preparation of various types before school. This custom category are thus in a liminal phase, a no man's land, between two school forms wich balance on a rope between the various educational traditions to interact in a year to give children the best conditions for the real schoolstart.
